VU4 Andaman & Nicobar Islands DXpedition – Call for Team Members

Join the VU4 Team for a Rare Activation + 49th SEANET Convention, Port Blair

Why VU4? Why Andaman & Nicobar Now?

The Andaman & Nicobar Islands, VU4, remains one of the most wanted DXCC entities worldwide. Demand is especially high from North America and on the low bands, making this activation a top priority for the global DX community.

Club Log Most Wanted – VU4 Rankings:

Category / Band / Mode Rank
North America Overall #47
North America West Coast #69
North America East Coast #45
North America 160m #10
80m Band #23
10m SSB #30
40m SSB #16

With these rankings, VU4 is critical for 5-Band DXCC, DXCC Challenge, and low-band DXers. This activation will focus on maximizing QSOs with NA and giving low-band and SSB operators a real shot at VU4.
